What this meeting did about specific topics, organized by issue rather than by document.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) annual public hearing
The Council held the required annual public hearing on the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) for the NPDES MS4 permit. A resident asked whether it related to EPA inspections on private property; the engineer said it did not and he was not aware of such inspections. The hearing was then closed.
Agenda: PH-1. Speakers: Schulz, Shane Nelson, Glen Ovall.
Hybben/Jenson lot line reconfiguration and easement vacation sequencing
The Hybben/Jenson lot line reconfiguration was on the agenda, but the city attorney advised the easement vacation public hearing must occur first under state statute. The Council tabled the request until Planning & Zoning holds that public hearing and directed staff to send notice of a 60-day extension.
Agenda: CC-3a. Motions: M-02. Speakers: Ruppe, Pilon, Scheffler.
Gibbs Lawn and Landscape IUP request (extended home occupation)
The Council took up the Gibbs interim use permit request for a home extended business, noting late-submitted materials from an attorney representing neighboring property owners (Mahutga). Concerns raised included the ordinance limits on employees, whether the use fits the rural residential agricultural district, and grading/drainage and property-value impacts. Because the Council received information that evening, it tabled the IUP to the July meeting and directed staff to send a 60-day extension letter; a council member also cautioned about conflicts when commission members have personal interests.
Agenda: CC-3b. Motions: M-03. Speakers: Schulz, Ruppe, Berglund, Pilon, Rainville, Meyer.
Viking Boulevard Transportation and Land Use Study
Council discussed the purpose of the Viking Blvd transportation and land use study as a guide for traffic patterns, access locations, and development review, and then voted to proceed with the study. The meeting packet showed an adjusted total cost estimate including three meetings.
Agenda: CC-3d. Motions: M-05. Speakers: Meyer, Rainville.
Speed study request (Resolution 2013-16)
Council adopted Resolution 2013-16 requesting Mn/DOT to conduct a speed study on 223rd Ave NW, Zeolite St NW, Hillside Trail NW, and Variolite St NW.
Agenda: CC-4a. Motions: M-06. Speakers: Scheffler, Meyer.
Stormwater pond responsibility and MS4 liability
The city attorney told the Council the City is responsible for stormwater ponds identified under the MS4 permit and that failure to maintain them could create civil liabilities and other penalties. Council discussed options like allocating costs citywide, putting maintenance obligations into future development agreements, or creating a stormwater district; they also discussed how liability could change if the City is aware of resident modifications.
Agenda: CC-4c. Speakers: Ruppe, Meyer, Pilon, Nelson.
Goose Lake Farm Winery CUP scope and possible IUP/amendment
During the farm winery update, the Council, staff, and the Ohmans’ attorney debated whether hosting weddings, markets, plays, and rentals goes beyond the 2004 CUP for manufacturing and on-site sale of wine. Staff stated the City had not taken enforcement action but encouraged the Ohmans to apply for an IUP (or amend the CUP) to define additional activities through a public process; the Ohmans’ attorney argued their on-site sales allow broad marketing and that they are not violating CUP conditions. No enforcement decision was made at this meeting.
Agenda: CC-5. Speakers: Thomas Lopez, Ruppe, Pilon, Meyer, Rainville, Scheffler, Schulz.
Ernie Koehler Field improvements (Twins grant / Century Fence quote)
Council approved accepting Century Fence’s Option 2 quote for ballfield fence changes and related improvements, and approved that the City’s stated share of the cost would come from the Park and Trail Fund. Council also approved holding an Ernie Koehler dedication ceremony on September 21, 2013.

A publisher told the Council there are about 800 remaining copies of the local history book and asked the City to find a way to purchase copies. Council discussed possible uses and handling of sales and directed that a proposed purchase agreement be drafted and brought back for council approval.
